Account
Duane Hibner saw a sasquatch in the woods across Hwy 476 from the Kelly place. With a group sitting around talking, he looked around with binoculars and saw a very big, very dark creature standing about 50 feet away. He passed the binoculars to a radioman from WFLA, Tampa, who said he saw it too. When he passed them back it was gone.
